A hybrid computer simulation for vehicle handling studies was implemented, checked out, and validated. The simulation was programmed to study both solid rear axle and independent rear suspension vehicles. The mathematical model used in the hybrid simulation was supplied by Bendix Research Laboratory. Model validation was accomplished using parametric data for a 1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle. Braking, steering, and combinations of braking and steering were the inputs to the simulated mathematical model for the validation tests. The hybrid computer simulation can be used for general studies of vehicle dynamics. Vehicles other than the Super Beetle can be simulated by using proper descriptive vehicle data. (Author)
